Human rights, sustainability lectures open Applied Ethics Series

For anyone who isn’t convinced, Arizona State University professors Daniel Rothenberg and LaDawn Haglund will be speaking at 4 p.m. today in the Hall of Philosophy to illustrate the necessity of these ideals in an ethically responsible modern world.
The lectures will kick off the 12th annual Lincoln Applied Ethics Series at Chautauqua Institution, during which professors from the Lincoln Center for Applied Ethics at Arizona State visit the Institution to launch important ethical discussions.

For the 11th year, professors and fellows from the Lincoln Center for Applied Ethics at Arizona State University return to Chautauqua, this time to explore the ethics of cheating in sports, media, national security, international law and in oneself.
From 4–5:30 p.m. today through Wednesday in the Hall of Philosophy, Peter French and colleagues will foster an in-depth discussion on rules of ethics in a modern world — who makes the rules and who must abide by them.
“I think we’ve got quite a cast of characters this year,” said French, director of the Lincoln Center, Lincoln Chair in Ethics and professor of philosophy.
Allenby to address concept of ‘self’ in digital age
Rapid technological development may have eliminated the possibility of a Renaissance man.
At 10:45 a.m. Wednesday in the Amphitheater, Brad Allenby takes to the “Digital Identity” morning lecture platform to discuss technological advances and how they alter the 21st-century sense of self.
“Before, I think you could feel like you understood your civilization. Now that’s not possible at the individual level; it has already gone beyond our ability to comprehend it,” Allenby said. “I don’t think we’ll ever see another Renaissance person, simply because there’s way too much information.”
Allenby serves Arizona State University as Lincoln Professor of Engineering and Ethics, professor of civil, environmental and sustainable engineering, and law professor. At ASU, he founded the Center for Earth Systems Engineering and Management and the Consortium for Emerging Technologies, Military Operations, and National Security. He was previously the Environmental, Health and Safety vice president at AT&T and has lectured at Chautauqua as part of the Lincoln Applied Ethics Series.
